Drafted from the VFA, Evans was assigned number 40 in 1993 but did not play seniors. Delisted at the end of that year he was reselected by the Demons in 1994 but spent most of his time playing with Springvale when not required for Reserves duty.

Richmond were the next club to take a chance on Evans, picking him with the sixth selection in the 1997 Pre-Season draft. He had better luck at the Tigers with 28 games over four seasons. Ironically he played his last match against the Demons in Round 16, 2000.

He finished his career at Narre Warren, winning five Mornington Peninsula league premierships.
